re: Official 2018 Trade Deadline Thread: Update Dante to Brooklyn

Yeah I'd do that too. You replace two guys who can't play with three who can help you and still have a first rounder this year. I feel like you might have to drop the protections on the pick this year and make it a straight up pick swap, but it's not a bad deal.

I would do that deal. You still have a 1st this year to add cheap depth or package with Carroll for something else, plus you get 2 cheap rotation players in Dinwiddie and Zeller that have another year on their deals.

That is much more interesting. That makes a difference this year and next. I think Zeller can be a fine backup big, Caroll gives us depth on the wing, and Dinwiddie would be really great starting with Jrue.

It allows us to not go very far into the tax next season and possibly even still avoid it depending on the numbers.

I'd do that deal in a heartbeat.

Dinwiddie/Jackson
Jrue/Moore
Solo/Carroll/Miller
AD/Diallo
Cousins/Zeller

Problem is that roster has 11 players, and it's at $126M, which will be in the tax by about $3M or $4M.
I would imagine if they did this, Moore/Carroll/Solo, one of them has got to go in the offseason to clear some room to bring in some minimum contracts and stay under the tax.

Yeah, I would do that deal.

Makes us much better this year and next, imo.

Not sure the Nets would though.
